HOTELS: Why the name change to Chartres? BARA: When we first started, we were known as The Chartres Lodging Group, and as we got into our business plan, we wanted to accommodate our partner at the time, Oxford Capital Partners. It was an easy transition for us at the time. Since then, we think there has been a lot of market confusion between the two companies, and we noticed that several other companies in other industries use the name Oxford. We wanted to go back to a name that had some history for us, we had recently recapitalized the company, and it's our fifth anniversary, so the stars were all aligned.
